Articles (Telugu has none)

Telugu has no a/an/the — articles get dropped or sprinkled by feel. Anchor them to countable nouns first.

Word order (SOV→SVO)

Telugu is verb-final ("Nenu annam tintanu"); English is verb-medial. Verb goes straight after the subject.

Tense & aspect

Present perfect vs past simple, continuous vs simple — English aspect is fine-grained.
